Tome Price Guide {does not get updated}

Sold:
Elite Necro Tome 8k

Sept 7th:
(Sold)Elite Derv Tome 6.5k

I have no clue on current market value of tomes, but I still buy them sometimes when I see ones I don't have at least 50 of offered for 1k or less.

Oct 23, I bought the following normal tomes from a thread here ...
Dervish x5 - 400g each
Elementlist - 400g
Monk x3 - 700g each
Necromancer - 600g

Nov. 7
- sold Elite Elementalist Tome for 8k in game. I got one as a drop and went to look at auction listings to get a feel for the b/o prices folks ask there. That's how I picked 8k. I offered that to the first elite ele tome buyer I saw in Kama, and s/he accepted.

Sold:

Elite Monk x2 for 7.5k/each
Elite Ranger for 5k

Nov. 17
- sold Elite Mesmer Tome for 7k in game. Again, I got one as a drop and went and looked at the auction listings to pick a price.

Nov. 22
- sold Elite Necro Tome for 8k in game. Ditto as above with how I came up with 8k to ask, but seller accepted w/out hesitation.
- sold Elite Ranger Tome for 7k. Ditto above situation.
- sold Elite Dervish Tome for 7k. Ditto above situation.
- sold Elite Mesmer Tome for 7k. Ditto above situation, except buyer did try to haggle. I have been seeing way too many wtb ads for these lately and had way too easy a time selling the last one for 7k to budge on price just yet. When I wouldn't budge, buyer accepted 7k.

Nov. 23
- sold Elite Mesmer Tome for 7k. Ditto above situation.
- sold Elite Ranger Tome for 7k. Ditto above situation.

Nov. 26
- sold two Elite Monk Tomes for 6k ea to a single buyer. This was the first wtb ad for Elite Monk Tomes I've seen in several days, so I accepted the buyer's offer price.
- sold Elite Elementalist Tome for 8k in game ... sold another one for 8k a little while later.

Nov. 27
- sold Elite Warrior Tome for 6k in game

Sold:
Elite Warrior 7k
Elite Ranger + Elite Derv 9k

Jan 25
- sold elite ranger tome for 7k (to first buyer I found in game)
- sold 3x elite warrior tomes for 6k ea. (to first buyer I found in game)

Jan 26
- sold elite elementalist tome for 8k (to first buyer I found in game)
- sold elite ritualist tome for 15k (to third buyer I found in game)
- sold another elite elementalist tome for 8k (to second buyer I found in game)

Jan 27
- sold third elite monk tome for 7k (to third buyer I found in game)

Jan 28
- sold forth elite monk tome for 5k (to fourth buyer I found in game.)
- sold another elite warrior tome I got the other day for 6k in game (to about the third buyer I offered it to.)
- sold 30 regular warrior tomes for 400g ea. to the same buyer who bought that most recent elite war tome.

Overall findings from watching wts/wtb elite tome ads for a couple days ...
- elite rit: seems WAY more wtb than wts for these. Did not take me long to find buyers at all, and did not take me much longer to find one that accepted 15k.
- elite nec, ele, mes: seems more (but not as much more as rit) wtb than wts for these. Did not take me long to find buyers for such.
- elite ran, war: seems about the same frequency of wts as wtb. Can take a while to find buyers, but not too hard.
- elite sin: surprisingly, there don't seem to be too many more wts than wtb for these. I guess lots of folks still want SF in a hurry. (EDIT Feb 8 - It occurs to me part of the explanation for this demand could be x/A builds using Assassin's Promise to lead discord-way teams.) I still doubt they're easy to sell for more than 3k, but I haven't had a buyer turn me down for 3k yet.
- elite para, derv: I haven't sold any of these recently, but I do see a lot more wtb than wts ads for these. Neither is especially common, but I doubt either would be hard to find buyers for in game.
- elite monk: I see WAYYYY more wts than wtb ads for these tomes. All the sellers seem to be asking 6k+. When I found buyers they didn't object to my 7k asking price, but it took a really long time to find buyers for these at all. I finally sold the last one to someone with a buy ad up for all elite tomes offering fairly low prices. I don't know if it was someone in the tome resale business or someone working on skill hunter title. I was just happy to finally get rid of the thing at that point.

Of course, you see a lot more wtb ads for all manner of tomes (and elite tomes for farming builds in particular) on the weekends and right before PvE events where folks farm some kind of cons.

Reading ruksak's post below ...

Being told that 500 is overpriced by a crook that will turn right around and sell them for 600 is getting old. I have also been selling sin tomes for 4k with ease. I have never sold one for 3k, why people are doing this I have no idea.

... makes me go , but to worry much about it wouldn't be how I care to spend my GW time nor would it be appropriate to discuss/attempt to clarify/debate on a PC guide thread.

I do think it might be relevant and potentially helpful to anyone else reading this looking for PC on tomes to mention the following ...

The elite warrior tome I reported above was a drop I got the day before. When I get reg tomes drop, I keep them. I don't keep elite tomes; I just look up PC for them and add them to the pile of stuff I keep handy to sell in game. I didn't find any current elite warrior tome listings here in Guru's auction system (one place I look to get a feel for current asking prices.) I did a quick search of both the active listings and the price records at gwauctions.org and decided I should try an asking price of 6k for this tome I didn't want. Within the next 24 hours, I saw someone asking to buy one of these in game. I offered mine for 6k, and he accepted.

I've heard people say this often, but I never have issue selling them for 4-5k...easy sell.

Elite Monk tome 8k....3 perspective buyers within 30 secs.


I have also been selling sin tomes for 4k with ease.
